Jute Flower Bouquet

When I saw this trio of buckets at Tuesday Morning for just $10 I snatched it up! Then I had to figure out what to put in them! I decided that jute would look great with the antiqued buckets, so I played around and came up with jute flowers (inspired by hydrangeas) with upholstery tack centers. I purchased the jute ribbon and upholstery tacks from Mindy Mae's Market.

Join two of the flowers with an upholstery tack, then push the tack into the styrofoam ball. Repeat until the bouquet is full.
The beauty of using tacks is you can reposition the flowers as desired to achieve the fullness you prefer!
